< Hosea 4 >

1 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O people of Israel for a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with [the] inhabitants of the land for there not [is] faithfulness and there not [is] covenant loyalty and there not [is] knowledge of God in the land.
イスラエルの子輩よヱホバの言を聽けヱホバこの地に住る者と爭辨たまふ其は此地には誠實なく愛情なく神を知る事なければなり
2 Cursing and deceiving and murdering and stealing and committing adultery people have broken out and blood blood they have touched.
ただ詛偽凶殺盗姦淫のみにして互に相襲ひ血血につづき流る
3 There-fore - it will dry up the land and he will wither every [one who] dwells in it among [the] animal[s] of the field and among [the] bird[s] of the heavens and also [the] fish of the sea they will be removed.
このゆゑにその地うれひにしづみ之にすむものはみな野のけもの空のとりとともにおとろへ海の魚もまた絶はてん
4 Nevertheless anyone may not he bring a case and may not he reprove anyone and people your [is] like [those who] contend a priest.
されど何人もあらそふべからずいましむ可らず汝の民は祭司と爭ふ者の如くなれり
5 And you will stumble the day and he will stumble also a prophet with you night and I will destroy mother your.
汝は晝つまづき汝と偕なる預言者は夜つまづかん我なんぢの母を亡すべし
6 They have been destroyed people my because not knowledge for you knowledge you have rejected and I will reject you from serving as a priest me and you have forgotten [the] law of God your I will forget children your also I.
わが民は知識なきによりて亡さるなんぢ知識を棄つるによりて我もまた汝を棄ててわが祭司たらしめじ汝おのが神の律法を忘るるによりて我もなんぢの子等を忘れん
7 As increased they so they sinned to me glory their for shame I will exchange.
彼らは大なるにしたがひてますます我に罪を犯せば我かれらの榮を辱に變ん
8 [the] sin of People my they eat and to iniquity their they lift up desire its.
彼らはわが民の罪をくらひ心をかたむけてその罪ををかすを願へり
9 And it will be as the people as the priest and I will visit on him ways his and deeds his I will repay to him.
このゆゑに民の遇ふところは祭司もまた同じわれその途をかれらにきたらせその行爲をもて之にむくゆべし
10 And they will eat and not they will be satisfied they will prostitute themselves and not they will increase for Yahweh they have forsaken to keep.
かれらは食へども飽ず淫行をなせどもその數まさずその心をヱホバにとむることを止ればなり
11 Prostitution and wine and new wine it takes away [the] heart.
淫行と酒と新しき酒はその人の心をうばふ
12 People my by wood his he enquires and stick his it tells to him for a spirit of prostitution it has misled and they have prostituted themselves from under God their.
わが民木にむかひて事をとふその杖かれらに事をしめす是かれら淫行の霊にまよはされその神の下を離れて淫行を爲すなり
13 On [the] tops of the mountains they sacrifice and on the hills they make smoke under oak and poplar and terebinth for [is] good shade its there-fore they prostitute themselves daughters your and brides your they commit adultery.
彼らは山々の巓にて犠牲を献げ岡の上にて香を焚き橡樹 楊樹 栗樹の下にてこの事をおこなふ此はその樹蔭の美しきによりてなりここをもてなんぢらの女子は淫行をなしなんぢらの兒婦は姦淫をおこなふ
14 Not I will visit [judgment] on daughters your if they prostitute themselves and on brides your if they commit adultery for they [masc] with the prostitutes they go apart and with the cult prostitutes they sacrifice and a people [which] not it understands it will be ruined.
我なんぢらのむすめ淫行をなせども罰せずなんぢらの兒婦かんいんをおこなへども刑せじ其はなんぢらもみづから離れゆきて妓女とともに居り淫婦とともに献物をそなふればなり悟らざる民はほろぶべし
15 Though [are] prostituting yourself you O Israel may not it become guilty Judah and may not you go Gilgal and may not you go up Beth Aven and may not you swear [by] [the] life of Yahweh.
イスラエルよ汝淫行をなすともユダに罪を犯さする勿れギルガルに往なかれベテアベンに上るなかれヱホバは活くと曰て誓ふなかれ
16 For like a heifer stubborn it is stubborn Israel now he will pasture them Yahweh like a lamb in roomy place.
イスラエルは頑強なる牛のごとくに頑強なり今ヱホバ恙羊をひろき野にはなてるが如くして之を牧はん
17 [is] joined of Idols Ephraim leave alone him.
エフライムは偶像にむすびつらなれりその爲にまかせよ
18 It has come to an end drink their certainly they have prostituted themselves they have loved love shame shields its.
かれらの酒はくされかれらの淫行はやまずかれらの楯となるべき者等は恥を愛しいたく之を愛せり
19 It has wrapped a wind it in wings its so they may be ashamed from sacrifices their.
かれは風の翼につつまれかれらはその禮物によりて恥辱をかうむらん
